THE ILLUSTRATED EXHIBITOR.

on behalf of the persecuted Jews of Damascus. The group
consists of sphinxes—indicative of the captivity of Israel
in Egypt—with a figure of Moses supporting the tables of
the law, and of Ezra reading a scroll, upon which is in-
scribed the 22nd verse of the 8th chapter of his book,
There are also two Jews of Damascus—one loaded with
chains, and the other released, overshadowed by the vine
and the fig-tree. The group on the summit is a representa-
tion of David rescuing the lamb from the jaws of the lion.
In the bassi relievi are pourtrayed—the Israelites crossing
the Red Sea, and the destruction of Pharaoh's host; the
landing of Sir Moses and Lady Monteflore at Alexandria;
Sir Moses obtaining the firman from the Sultan ; the per-
secuted Jews of Damascus returning thauks for their de-
liverance ; and the thanksgiving in the synagogue by Sir
Moses on his return. Under the latter is inscribed the
12-lth Psalm. This firm has long been celebrated for the

metals are then heated in a furnace. When the tempera-
ture is raised to a certain point, their union takes place,
and the ingot is then submitted to the processes of manu-
facture. An ingot of copper previous to this process, with
the plate of silver tied upon it with wire, are shown by
this gentleman. The next articles in the series are ingots
of copper, and white metal after the silver plate has been
united to them by an elevation of temperature only, and
without the intervention of solder or any other substance.
The next article is the sheet of plated metal, which is
obtained by submitting the plated ingot to the rolling
process. A table dish, made from the rolled metal, is tne
next in the series, with the silver mountings laid upon u,
but not yet soldered. The steel dyes in which the sliver
mountings are struck, together with the mountings pro-
duced by them, are also exhibited; in fine, the table am
is exhibited in its finished state, as well as a specimen oi
salver produced by the manufacturer as above descnoeu.
